Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Skewers (metal or wooden)
- Grill or grill pan
- knife
- chopping board
Ingredients
- 250 g extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint cut into ribbons
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the pomegranate molasses, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Aleppo pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cut the tofu into even cubes and gently toss them in the marinade until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 3–4 hours to allow the flavours to penetrate.
- Heat your grill to medium-high. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated tofu onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning frequently to ensure all sides become golden and slightly charred. Brush with leftover marinade during the final few minutes for extra flavour.
- Serve with a scattering of chopped herbs.
